Patient's question:
What did you eat last night? If you had sex today, would you get pregnant? Is it effective to take emergency contraception before having sex?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you described: Emergency contraception pills are effective when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, with a repeat dose 12 hours later, achieving a success rate of 96%. Emergency contraception pills should be taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex, as they are only effective for sex before the medication was taken. If you do not plan to have children in the future, it is still possible to use condoms and breastfeed.
